This Psalm was composed by David when he was finally received as the king of all the
tribes of Israel. This brought an end to the division and discord among the tribes. At a
time when the leaders of the nation were for a time at least of one heart and mind.
1 Sam 5:1

1 Chro. 12:38-40
38All these men came in battle array to Hebron with the single purpose of making David
the king over all Israel. In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their
king. 39They feasted and drank with David for three days, for preparations had been
made by their relatives for their arrival. 40And people from as far away as Issachar,
Zebulun, and Naphtali brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. Vast
supplies of flour, fig cakes, clusters of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, sheep, and goats
were brought to the celebration. There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.
The Psalm starts with the word “behold” which means it is calling your attention to what
is going to be said! Take not well because it’s a wonder seldom seen.

David is drawing our attention to something good and pleasant; the unity (harmony of
brethren). Unity is pleasant because it makes life enjoyable than the seasons of conflict
and disagreements.
What happens when people dwell together?
To dwell together means the bonds of unity and peace that will be at times tested.
Living together in one place and sharing things and getting into each others space and
yet experiencing unity. This is compared to a time when the Israelites will travel to
Jerusalem to worship, a pilgrimage with all the tribes from different regions yet
experiencing unity and peace together.
How can we connect or relate this to marriage?
As spouses we come from different backgrounds but we will experience unity and
peace between us by putting all our differences aside to dwell together in harmony or
unity.
How can couples or married people achieve this harmony that is being talked about?
Building intimate friendship:

• Acceptance Gen. 2:25
  25Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. How do we see thing
  manifest in marriage?
  Accepting the person we are married to with their flaws, strengths and weaknesses.
  Always remember you are married to a human being and you are also a human
  being. That helps us to know how we can live in harmony or peace with them. Know
  that the person is an individual and you cannot force the person to be who they are
  not. You cannot change anyone only God changes people. To accept is to be in a
  place like Gen 2:25,
• Dependency Gal 6:2-3
  Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3If you think you are too
  important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
  What types of support can we give each other as spouses?
  Depending on each other for physical support, emotional support, financial support and
  spiritual support. When you are supporting someone, you are willing to help them go
  through every situation and be there for them at all times.
• Commitment Jame 1:19, Eph 4:25, Roms 12:18. What can we say about these
  verses when it comes to marriage?
  Commitment to making sure that as far as it depends on you will leave at peace with
  the other person. You are slow to speak, quick to listen and slow to become angry.
  You forgive easily, apologize quickly and communicate well. You speak the truth to
  your spouse so that they feel safe and open with you. And you create same
  environment in the marriage
• Companionship Gen 2:18. What does this scripture mean to a marriage person?
  It important to build friendship between the two of you. God created marriage to
  solve one problem.. the problem of loneliness. You cannot be married and feel
  alone. Spend quality time together and get to know each other more and more. Seek
  to know your spouse and seek to be known.
  When we live in harmony like this it evokes an anointing. It also demonstrates an
  anointing from God like the one described; poured on Aarons head it moved to every
  part of the body. Every aspects of our marriages will be healed and anointed. Theres
  always a refreshing and renewing of our relationship with each other.
  Like the dew on Hermon the mountain, the dew is like rain. When there is harmony
  there is constant thriving and the relationship is healthy not easily destroyed by
  anything

The dew is an agent of renewal of refreshment and a fertilization force,
The Lord commands His blessings in an environment like that where there is
harmony Gods blessings is released on the couple. They will stand the test of time
and be together until death separates them,
